-Squeeze the batter into the oil, making a couple of figure 8s and loops on top of each other.
-The shape should be about 3 inches on its longest side.

or 1/2/1/2 whole wheat /all purpose flour

-1-3/4cups warm water,
plus more as needed
-1 cup, melted ghee or clarified butter
-stir together the flour and salt.
-sprinkle the oil and rub it into the flour with your hands.
-Make a well in the center of the flour, pour in the water, and mix together by hand until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
-Turn out onto a lightly oiled surface and knead for 15 minutes. Clean out the mixing bowl, butter it lightly, and return the dough to the bowl.
-Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a damp dish towel and let the dough rest for 2 hours.
-Divide the dough into 36 pieces, then work with only 3 pieces at a time — the chapatis should not dry out before cooking.
-With lightly floured hands, roll each piece into a ball, flatten slightly, and place on a lightly floured surface. -Roll out the dough into evenly flat 6" rounds.
-Roll out two more chapatis, then begin to cook.
